the captain and mate went ashore Dur.
ing the afternoon several vessels were
seen TO be dredgiog in open water near
the policessschooner, being emboldened by
the knowledge that the latter was unable
to get at them. The three young men
on the Frolic began firing the small can
non at the dredgers, and after two or
three discharges the gun burst, flying
fragment striking young Evans in the
head and killing him instantly. The

of 1 divorce to 796 OF the population;
and in Kent county In sixteen months
from January l, 1881, there we're 92l
marriages and POP divorce suits in a
population of 49, 900. Is it any wonder,
then, that reform should be demanded
In Missouri In laws which are nearly
as loose as are those of any other state,
and certainly looser than they should
be?
In effecting this reform we have in
dictated as the line, what vast numbers
of Christian people believe to be the
only Biblical reason for divorce, sdul-
terry. With this crime as the sole cause
for absolute divorce, with the privi-
lege of re- marriage only granted to the
innocent person, there would be fewer
rash marriages, greater permanency OF
the home, the healing of thousands OF
quarrels which now lead to ruined
households, scattered children, and
scandalized and furnished lives.
Legal separations could still be pro-
| yided for extreme cases of marital IN
felicity, but even these should be hedg-
| ed about with most careful provisions
to prevent fraud and collision.
The subject is of such grave impor-
lance that we have intervie wed a few
gentlemen in the community who, we
think, are best qualified to express
opinions upon its religious, moral and
legal aspects. What they have to say
will be found in another column.

The senate and house committees
have agreed upon a bill to regulate the
railroads of the state, which should
pass both houses without amendment.
1t is a good bill. AS we hoped it would
be, 1t is based upon the Illinois law;
wisely so, as that state has kept about
as far in advance of us as her constitu
ton, which is similar, preceded ours.
The bill is not all we should like; it
need not be all the legislation on the
subject: but just as it is, we believe it
Is the best and most comprehensive
railroad bill that has ever been pro-
posed to a legislature in this country.
There is danger in attempts. to better
it. The railroad lobby may suggest
improvements. They should not be
needed. The best and the safest thing
to do is to pass it as it is. The two
committees, with Messrs. Harmon and
Brown at their head, deserve great
credit for their faithful, patient and
laborious work, and we hope both
houses will support them by over
whelming votes.

Edison has lately been turning his
attention to chemical combinations and
states that he has succeeded in produc-
ing a machine whereby he can manu-
faoture, by simply turning a crank, all
kinds of meats, vegetables, fruits,
liquors, wines or anything else either
eatable or drinkable, of much better
quality than those now in use, and all
from simple earth and water. Here

or cartridges, beef, mutton, cabbage,
potatoes, onions, or any kind of fruit it
will only be necessary to shovel up a
bueketful of dirt from your farm or
garden, place 1t in the machine, turn
the crank according to directions and
take out just the article wanted. His
theory is,that the growth Of animal and
vegetable matter is only a slow process
Of chemical combination, and his pur.
pose is to beat nature at least twelve
months in their production. "Wait q

Hon. w. H. Carter, for so long the

Kansas, at follows:-"Although 1 have
left Lafayette county, still I feel a
deep interest in her welfare and also in
that of all Missouri. My sympathies
have always been on the side of The
weak and struggling masses as against
the strong and oppressive corporations.
l do not wish to be understood by you
as having any feeling of hostility to-
ward corporations, for, if l know my
self, this is not true. l always desired
to see them protected and fostered in
all equitable and just rights. But l do
not wish our legislation such as that
they can become the oppressors of the
poorer and less strong citizens. 1 see
that the Reagan Interstate commerce
bill has become a law; and in apparent
approval of its features the great state
of Texas has made him, Reagan, the
champion OF peoples rights, a senator
to farther battle for them. All hail tc
him tor his manly work, and all praise

THE DIVORCE LAWS OF MISSOURI.

This legislature may not reform the
present loose divorce laws of the state,
but that they ought to do SO few
thoughtful people will deny.
There are now in Missouri eleven
distinct causes for legal divorce, and
the person who seeks to have marriage
set aside in its borders must be stupid
indeed that cannot bring his case
somewhere within the meaning OF tho
statute.
Judging from the large number of
divorce cases set for the various cicuit
courts 1t is apparent that applications
of this kind are increasing in more
rapid proportion than are marriages.
If this is true 1t portends a great dang
er to society. So much depends upon
the marital relation, and its perma-
nency, that the fippancy OF legislators
and commentators upon its "antipodal
foe. DIVORCE" seems truly startling.
A list of divorces may be found almost
daily in the St. Louis newspapers, and
as regularly in the country papers as
the circuit courts come around. In
Chicago, last Saturday, about 80 divor-
ces were granted.
The threatening character of the evil
would almost, if not quite, Justify the
South Carolina practice where divorces
are not granted for any cause whatso-
ever.
Is not the situation sufficiently threat.
ening when in nearly all the states
divorces are steadily increasing in
number; when in Connecticut there il
one divorce to every IL. 06 marriages
for twenty-one years; in Vermont ont
to every 17.6 for nineteen years; il
Massachusetts, one to every S5.s for thu
same period, beginning with l to 81
in 1860, and ending in 1873 with one t,
21.4? This increase in divorces, say
Mr.. Carroll D. Wright, is accompanied
by an increase in the number of th,
!, leading crimes against chastity and in
FAINT life. We have no recent statistic
as to this state at hand, but in St
3 Louis the number of divorces in 1877
J was 400, or as nj to 700 of the inhabi.
tants, and the number appears to hay,
been increasing since then. In Wayn,
? county, Michigan, containing 200 90
inhabitants, there was recently a rsti
